savage striker

I wish savage would come back with savage striker pistol with accu trigger.

why did they drop it from the line anyway?

You can call Savage and order a new Savage Striker, not sure about the trigger. An aftermarket trigger may be a better trigger anyway

To make the Savage action into a Pistol the trigger is re-loacated.  The Accutrigger would not function in the pistol position.  Larry

You can build a Striker that will have an Accutrigger. The trick is that you need to get you hands on an undesignated action. I believe that you can order one direct from Savage. The other option is to contact Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply:

He has undesignated Target actions available. In order to use the Accutrigger, you need to use a rear grip stock instead of the center grip that came on the factory Strikers. Then you just need to add the barrel of your choice. From what I've heard, you'd have a hard time building one for less than $1000. It would probably be easier to just buy a Striker and replace the factory stock with an aftermarket rear grip stock, and add an after market trigger.
FWIW, I just got my hands on a Striker in 300 WSM and was worried about the trigger. With a little time, I managed to adjust it to a rreasonable level without modifying anything, just using the built in adjustments.

I have several Saveges including a Striker. 1 of them has the Accur-trigger and to tell the truth I like the old triggers just as well. I have 1 with an after market trigger that is better from the bench, but for field guns I have always been able to adjust the old Savage triggers to where I wanted them.
